How Much Off-Season Training Is Enough?
Picture this. You step into the locker room for your training camp or try-outs in August and you see one of your teammates from last summer; you ask how his summer was and he goes on to tell you about the 5 hours per day he spent in the gym, doing cardio, power skating and doing yoga. Your heart sinks a little as you think, "Wow, I did not do enough training -- I am not going to be as fit as him". That is a natural feeling, but do not make the common mistake of confusing training time with training quality.
